Nautical Almanac dude and pals in Baltimore want to start a flotation center and study altered consciousness stuff

If that was in my town I would put some dough in for sure - that's a noise direction I can approve for once.

what are bad and good noise directions?

Go, Twig, go!

New age floatation centre and library good. Braxton collab good (in principle). All others so far bad.

I helped curate this:

That $20 festival pass is the deal of a lifetime. Sadly I won't be able to attend ANY of these gigs.

Looks like an amazing festival. Just saw Glochids for the first time a couple months ago, and he killed. I've seen id m theftable many times, and hope to see him many more.

I have been liking Nick Millevoi a lot lately - work is sort of split between more noise-oriented guitar work and more avant/free-jazz guitar stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHXGj1wloUQ

Happy to see his name here! I reviewed his solo tape on The Flenser for Burning Ambulance last year and really dug it. He's got a collab with the Ricart Quartet coming out on Gaffer Records in July I think, and he'll be touring with the amazing Dead Neanderthals later this summer/autumn.

Sachiko's Loka in the Black Ship is incredible. Not sure if I'll make it out of these remaining twenty minutes alive.

Anybody heard Cory Allen? I've been exploring his minimalist guitar stuff lately after accidentally buying a track on a comp

tried to get into, what is it, HIF, kind of windchimey, but it didn't end up grabbing my interest that year against similar minimal recs

the Hair Police record from earlier this year is so good

http://noise-archmedia.net/

if you're a fan of The Thing on The Doorstep stuff, this is like the USA supplement to it, with Illusion of Safety and Crash Worship and lots more. Enjoy!

Yeah, like to dip into that now again. Overwhelming, in many senses (at least, I don't have the knowledge to make full use of it. Whatever that means)

though now that i mention it, I forgot the osx keycommand that lets you download a linked mp3 file- when I click on that site it launches a window that is playing the clip- what if I want to download it and hoard it? stoked for "Church of the TapeSplice"!

ctrl-click on the link and select "save link as" or some such

New album by Shampoo Boy, one-third of which is Peter Rehberg

lovely! reminds me a bit of Kayo Dot

a) yeah very very lovely
b) nah wtf lol

maybe it's the string sounds?

The new Kayo Dot, btw, is a slight disappointment, although the first two tracks are fucking superb

it doesn't have the same space and dynamics as kayo dot, true

philly people don't sleep on this!

ron of rrrecords looking for a home for his tape/CDR collection

I opened my shop on Jan 3, 1984 and in a few months it will be the 30th anniversary of RRRecords - I've been thinking of all the various ways I can celebrate this occasion, a huge reissue campaign, a 30xLP boxset, throw a big fest, perhaps resurrect Emil and tour the world, y'know, that sort of thing

but ultimately, I think I want to celebrate by donating my entire noise collection to a museum or university - I dont want to sound like I'm bragging or anything but I probably own the largest collection of noise and noise related activity in the USA, especially from the 80's and 90's - I'm sure its not complete but its extensive humungous

problem is, I dont know where to begin - my #1 fantasy is it ends up in the permanent collection of The Smithsonian or The Library of Congress - but more realistically, I'd be thrilled if it ended up in one of the big Boston universities, like Harvard or The Berkeley School Of Music - or possibly even someone like MOMA

this donation will consist of all my cassettes and CDr's as well as my ridiculously huge paper archive - none of my vinyl, I have other plans for my vinyl - whereas vinyl is a manufactured product involving a financial investment, the cassettes and CDr's are homemade, hand fabricated by the artists themselves - I dont have to explain the differences, do I?

so, I guess what I'm trying to say is I NEED YOUR HELP - I have no idea how to properly approach these institutions or if they would even care about a collection of this nature - if anyone reading this knows how to go about doing this the correct and proper way, if you work for any of these institutions or know someone who does, then please I'd love to hear your opinions on this matter

thanks

BEST - Ron

i saw him post that and it is surely a trove of rad stuff but the whole "I have other plans for the vinyl" thing is weird- esp. since he's notorious for typically having 4 or 5 copies of many records in his collection- removing vinyl from the equation seems weird. But of course I am hopeful that some university will step up and archive this subculture because it's an important part of the global history of experimental artmaking in the last century

he should just let the haters set it on fire

obligatory G.X. pirate joke

Can anyone recommend me some good recent noise tapes please? I've been sort of getting into noise, and I like tapes

i highly recommend 905 tapes. great variety of sounds. everything they put out is worth listening to. if you go to their store and click specials you can pick 10 tapes for cheap:

http://905tapes.com/

they even have a random batch they will send you for even cheaper. if you like random.

awesome

A big feature on the early years of Skullflower/interview with Stefan Jaworzyn that I did recently.

(I hope this fits in with me only posting stuff on ILM that has a very small/niche readership here.)

Congratulations on this excellent piece. It was discussed with great interest in the Skullflower thread:

Ah! Nice one.

Any fans in thread of Providence noise-grind turned mutant Jesus Lizard disciples Daughters (especially their last s/t album they released shortly after disintegrating, never having toured on it)? Well they played a couple reunion shows in September and now maybe are full-on reunited, touring Australia of all places in January.

hopefully the lead singer can keep his shoulder in its socket

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPrXZLSrXUM

they actually carried on pretty well without him, looked like a fantastic show

from John Olson

Q: "Is noise over?"

A: "Completely, 100 percent. That's part of why I'm quitting the label. All the categories, everything has run its course. The whole solo culture of it has invented a million people playing by themselves trying to be geniuses. You're getting a million one-way conversations."

John and I come from the same generation and are having similar reactions to the current milieu, it seems. I am also ending my label, ugEXPLODE, and am intending to limit my drumming performances from a flood to a trickle this coming year. Why? Because times change. I am older, poorer than ever and due to things like having a child, I simply don't have the freedom to do whatever I want anymore. I used to be able to commit to the most uncompromising shit possible 24/7 when I was young, dumb and full of shit. That era is over. It must be, for the sake of survival.

However, does that mean creativity is over? FUCK NO. Now I just realize I must choose my battles, or perish, cranking out more experimental ego-spew nobody wants to listen to or pay for seems completely quixotic in 2013. I've taken free drumming about as fucking far as anybody has pushed it and SO FUCKING WHAT. nobody gives a shit. i could play 5 gigs a week to nobody in new york, killing it completely in front of nobody and what do i get? nothing. fuck it.

i'm going to play guitar in rock bands and push that medium further than anybody else does. i did it on drums and i'm going to do it on guitar now. the format is not dead and i will prove it. tired motherfuckers, step to the side. here i come.

end of statement

oh whoops - posted before delineating -- first paragraph of answer from Olson, the rest from Weasel Walter

John Olson interview here:
http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/crossfade/2013/12/wolf_eyes_interview_basel_miami_2013.php

So THIS is what everyone was going on about on FB.

hahah yeah!

it's funny, wolf eyes' objection to noise are the same as pretty much anybody who doesn't like or listen to noise

"how do they know if what they're playing is right or wrong?" "where are the melodies?"

the thing is, it is such an amorphous genre -- you can have melodies in noise

I've taken free drumming about as fucking far as anybody has pushed it

Um...no he hasn't, not by the longest of longshots.

and SO FUCKING WHAT. nobody gives a shit. i could play 5 gigs a week to nobody in new york, killing it completely in front of nobody and what do i get? nothing. fuck it.

As Bill Dixon used to say, "The reward has got to be that this is what you do."

a righteous return to the source might be in order for disaffected noise dudes

I just listened again to this classic from back in the day and it was like meeting up with an old friend

The first Hanatarashi LP from '85:

oh and also Twig and Carly's flotation tank set up is amazing, highly recommended if you are passing through Baltimore that you book a session in the tank, it will blow away the cobwebs from your mind

xp I took my sisters to that show it ruled. AIDS Wolf got real good for the last year-and-a-half, I mean, I've been saying that for ages, still nobody listens to me :(

it's mosk0s, dude. he made the band

i was at that casa show too but the best aw show of that era was in a small concrete box loft in st henri, openning for wet hair. they brought their own pa to the show and were just so fucking loud, so brutal

kozz is probably my favourite canadian musician of all time, full stop

aids wolf were always a bit too "early-00's" for me, like the noize "The Rapture" /disco punk fallout or something. i eventually did get into skingraft stuff like us maple and gay beast, but aw were never more than a crazy live band to me. plus i used to not be able to stand chl0e & yanik cause i would always see em talking shit about bands and hanging outside shows during everyones sets but their crews. now i talk shit all the time and do the exact same thing ha. plus c and i posted on the same bss msg board for a 6 month period when i was like 19, in wake of stillepost, and i actually loved her posts

yah I've known C & Y since I was tiny and they're real people. I've only seen a couple Drainolith shows but he's great, got jealous (not-jealous) feels when Ottawa friends talk about that period when Unireverse or Beautifuzz or Spiny Anteaters were playing shows every week

imo those last AIDS Wolf shows were all about whatever objects Chloe was running her voice through, she sounded like a French dalek

sounds awesome! The last time they played Oakland, there were these 4-5 young people who had brought a ball and tape and made a four-square court and were playing four-square in the back

I wish my youth group had had that kind of soundtrack
